Hi! I Lowered my Cholesterol!

Remember that guy in the Cheerios commercials? He'd walk up to people he didn't know and say, “Hi! I lowered my cholesterol!” Well, I feel like him.

I visited the doctor today to check my progress on reducing my cholesterol, which six months ago was at 202. (Yikes!) The doctor entered with a puzzled look on his face and asked, “Have you been taking any medications for cholesterol?” “Well, you didn't prescribe any for me, so no.” He then informed by that my cholesterol had dropped 67 points!

So, much to my delight, I am now off this diet. Not that I'm planning to fall off the wagon or anything, but it'll be nice to have a little real bacon once in a while.
